In that case I suggest that:
(a) There's no need for any urgency at all for this as it won't affect
anything.
(b) But at an appropriate time in the future one of the following is done:
(b1) The comparison is changed to the correct comparison, maybe with a comment
that in previous versions ">=" was used which went wrong in the circumstances
set out above but choose_multiplier was never called with those arguments.
(b2) The comparison is left unchanged, but a comment is added that strictly
speaking we should use ">" but as choose_multiplier should never be called with
arguments for which ">" has a different effect to ">=" we can just use ">=".
My (strong) preference is for (b1).
